What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on buying building materials that I used to build a two roomed house where my children could sleep from. I had a very squeezed house that could not fit me and my growing family. They now have a more spacious house to sleep from without squeezing each other. One room serves as a kitchen, and I am free from cooking outside which was not healthy because of the dust and sometimes the heavy rains. I thank God for this far.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on cementing and painting my house at 44,000 KES, then paid 5,000 KES school fee for my child in high school.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that my house will no longer get destroyed all the time by rains as before now that it's cemented hence I no longer have to do mud smearing all the time. My child will also not be sent out of school anytime soon now that I paid for all the fee arrears.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I used a portion of the transfer to repair my house. I bought some used iron sheets which I'll use to build a kitchen because the one I have is too old and can go down at any time. Besides, I purchased foodstuffs for family consumption.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
When I got the transfer, my heart leaped with joy.
